Friends, family! Some updates and questions on the Old GMMTV Challenge -- if anyone catches this post, I would love your input! (AND THANK YOU for all the input on this watch journey so far, I LOVE YOU, FAM!)
1) Love Sick. Oh my gosh, I am TOTALLY enjoying this show. Yes, lots of problems, LOTS of issues, and I get to enjoy the BL cuts, so I’m missing all the messy het context (thank GAWD). 
But seriously -- oh my god, oh my god. Noh and Phun are like, a canon Thai BL couple? They’re SO PERFECT FOR THE JOB. It’s so amazing, they’re so amazing. Noh is so insane and WISE. Phun is SO CRAZY IN LUV. I love that Phun just CANNOT HOLD BACK! THOSE EYES! (This guy is my TUL?! TUL?!)
So watching Love Sick now makes me regret, by quite a lot, not watching these shows chronologically. I think it would have helped me a lot to watch Love Sick before SOTUS, but alas, I let my curiosity about Singto get the best of me. More on this in a second.
2) @absolutebl, @clairificusrex, @nieves-de-sugui, and anyone else who wants to chime in! Question for y’all: I found this playlist on YouTube for BL cuts of Love Sick season 2. Do these edits look reliable to you? I unfortunately have to multitask at all times when I’m watching dramas, so I can’t fast-forward -- I think I might need to rely on this playlist to finish out LS2. Gah. I hope these work for the task at hand!
3) Okay, chronology. I would love advice, thoughts, feedback on the following questions! (I’m sorry I’m asking all these questions, btw: I have a huge trip coming up, and may run into rights issues where I’m going, so I want to get a good watch plan solidified before I leave. Because... I’m a list person, oh god.)
Like I said, I think I messed myself up by watching SOTUS before Love Sick. I think it would have really helped me to understand SOTUS even more if I had watching LS first, to catch on some tropes that were clearly borne out of LS.
@absolutebl recommended, as the third drama of the OGMMTVC, 2gether. But, in a separate comment thread, @shortpplfedup also mentioned that Love Sick and Make It Right kind go together (@shortpplfedup, let me know if I’m stating this reliably) as two of the early high school pulp BLs. 
I don’t know if Make It Right is as referenced, trope- or script-wise, as an early BL as Love Sick or SOTUS. But it does have Ohm Pawat, who is one of the actors I permanently rabbithole, and I do really appreciate watching Love Sick now to see all the high school tropes being built. 
So I’m wondering: for chronology’s sake, would it make sense to watch Make It Right/MIR2 next, after Love Sick, if this is a side-path I want to take to learn about canon regarding high school settings? 
Or... is Make It Right not worth it? I know @absolutebl has said before that the heat of MIR may be wiggly for the youth of the actors. I’d love input! If MIR gives by way of education, I may want to dig into it while I’m on the road.
4) And then after that, closing out the OGMMTVC would be 2gether. However!
a) My other side commitment is to understand Aof’s oeuvre. And He’s Coming to Me and Dark Blue Kiss both aired BEFORE 2gether. So I’m kinda wondering if I should watch those first, before 2gether.
b) And then there’s his involvement with the 2gether franchise, which -- I had no idea about until I perused MDL. And I’m totally not quite following what all the sequels mean and maybe, why he got involved in the franchise?
Was 2gether so bad, in a way, that Aof and Fon Kannitha had to come in and, like, rescue the franchise for Still 2gether and 2gether: The Movie?
And, what the heck is this MDL description of the movie? Is it, like... a summary of the two previous series?
(Is all of this messy-mess indicative of why 2gether landed on the OGMMTVC list? Ha.)
I’m a little confused by what the whole deal is with 2gether, and if the sequels are worth watching. For me, the priority would be to watch Aof’s work as it progresses over time, which makes me think I should interrupt the OGMMTVC to watch He’s Coming To Me and Dark Blue Kiss first. Because, again, I’m wondering if he or GMMTV felt that he needed to come in and, like, save the 2gether franchise. When I was digging into all of this in MDL, I was totally surprised to see his name there.
Whew. I know this was a lot, but I appreciate ANY crumbs from the experts. (2gether, on paper, looks like a hot mess, but I know BrightWin are beloved, so...what’s up with that, ha.) If anyone’s reading and commenting this -- thanks, y’all, in advance, for your input!

In other news, Love Sick's Phun/Noh are taking me on a ride. I didn't know I needed another teenage pining and the sweetest couple in my life. I have barely started the season 2 and I have heard one of the few best dialogues and scenes I have ever watched in a BL

I have just completed season 1 of Lovesick the series
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I couldn’t believe this show was created in 2014. In my opinion, this tv show presents a level of maturity between 17 year olds that I haven’t seen in many recent BLs at all. They communicated easily, including discussing exactly where they stand. Even if it includes Noh using humour to truly reveal exactly what he’s feeling, he still presents his opinion on the matter.
For example, Noh jokes around that he has no time for Phun anyway if they were to get together so Phun should stay with his current girlfriend. His words were brushed with his personal brand of teasing humour, but it’s obvious to Phun and us that Noh is simply doing his best to ease the tension so that their inability to be together doesn’t create any awkwardness between them.
At the end of the day, these two boys would rather be in each other’s lives than not at all, even if that sometimes involves pretending. Even if it means creating a joke out of a serious and heartbreaking situation. Noh would do anything to protect and preserve the ease, peace and comfort he feels with Phun; this includes using humour to ease their intense situation. It wasn’t about two boys getting together, it was about two boys learning how to love in an unselfish and undemanding way.
That’s what I loved about this show: it wasn’t about sexual love, it was about loving someone in any way possible and clutching on to the love they can give you in any way you can get it.
If we can’t be together, then fine we’ll still be friends and I’ll still love you in any and every way I can as a friend. Even if it hurts to not have you in my arms. Even if all I want to do is plant kisses on your face (and sometimes I can’t stop myself from reaching out and doing exactly that - yet you never stop me). This is all enough for me. Because having you in my life in any way is enough - as long as you’re here.
This series taught me undemanding love. It taught me that you can still continue to love someone even if it’s not exactly the way you would prefer to. This series taught me about love through soft gestures, such as clutching wrists and forehead kisses. It taught me that love can be stressful and terrifying and confusing and oh so painful, but I will do everything I can to keep my lover in my life, even if that includes letting them go. This series taught me that there is a love so strong that simply having the person in your life in any way shape or form is enough. That’s what love is.
I didn’t care about the straight couples at all and I mostly skipped over those scenes, so I can’t comment on them. Phun and Noh and their innocent and amazingly mature form of love touched my heart so that is all I can focus on.
There was no dubious consent, non-con, or abuse to further the storyline. It was just two boys innocently falling in love because of a cliche situation (fake dating, we love to see it) and having to adapt to and battle with the expectations of society to cement any type of love they can have with each other.

My Thoughts on Lovesick: the Series
Okay so I’m currently watching Lovesick and I love it so much! But literally when i tried watching the episodes on youtube for season two, there was this video that included multiple episodes. Little did I know that a bunch of the side couples and side plots were cut out and it was only the scenes with Noh and Phun. I feel the need to rewatch those episodes so that I can actually see what’s going on with the side characters. Kinda mad about that.
the things i loved:
They have cute moments that aren’t only kissing or sexual tension like other BL series (there’s barely any kissing to begin with)
I love slow burn BL’s... this one was no exception <3
I didn’t hate all of the female characters from the beginning to the end - i definetely hate a lot (Grace), but it’s not like with Addicted where i hated every single female character from the moment I saw their faces. Excluding one character.
It tackles a lot of different types of drama - there was a rich vs poor conflict with jeed, and there were financially diverse characters. Phun was obviously rich and his father’s image was easy to ruin since he was a politician. Noh didn’t have famous parents and was relatively middle class. Also, the sextape conflict. And even the thing with Earn liking Noh but Noh liking Phun was a neat conflict. The conflicts were diverse and i didnt feel bored after watching like 20 episodes.
I like how Noh and Phun’s relationship didn’t have a complete obvious and stereotypical seme/uke relationship. I personally feel like they both have a bit of both types of characteristics.
forehead kisses
things i didnt really like:
The first episode was a mess tbh
rarely had kiss scenes and when they did the camera cut off before they actually kissed - i get it if the actors are uncomfortable with that but its still annoying lol, especially after a bajillion episodes of them either being mad or having a misunderstanding or smth
their hugs were cringe im sorry. like it looked like they were trapping each other it did not look comfy lololol. not all of them were tho, just a few.
thats about it, not much to be upset about <3
still mad about the missing scenes masmnsksjssjjsj i should rewatch the episodes...

Turtles Catches Up With Old GMMTV: Love Sick/Love Sick 2 Edition
[What’s going on here? After joining Tumblr and discovering Thai BLs through KinnPorsche in 2022, I began watching GMMTV’s new offerings -- and realized that I had a lot of history to catch up on, to appreciate the more recent works that I was delving into. From tropes to BL frameworks, what we’re watching now hails from somewhere, and I’m learning about Thai BL's history through what I’m calling the Old GMMTV Challenge (OGMMTVC). Starting with recommendations from @absolutebl on their post regarding how GMMTV is correcting for its mistakes with its shows today, I’ve made an expansive list to get me through a condensed history of essential/classic/significant Thai BLs produced by GMMTV and many other BL studios. My watchlist, pasted below, lists what I’ve watched and what’s upcoming, along with the reviews I’ve written so far. I’ve covered SOTUS so far, but now I’m correcting for chronology, and present to you today my review of Love Sick.]
Well. I climbed the mountain and saw the view from the top. After 48 episodes -- BL edit cuts, mind you, but still, 48 episodes -- I finished Love Sick and Love Sick 2. 
Before I dive into the review, I want to meditate on something that kept cropping up for me as I was watching the show. I always say this in my writing, but I’m an #old cishet gal, in my early middle-aged years, and when I was in high school in the States, casual homophobia likely looked different than it does now, or maybe even at the time of Love Sick’s airing in 2014 and 2015. 
I’m not sure if young people in high schools do this now... or maybe they do. Maybe I’m clueless and just not watching enough Western and/or cishet content to know. But when I was a teenager in the ‘90s, “gay” was the adjective for everything. "This bagel is gay.” Your handbag was “gay.” Your handwriting was “gay.” The way in which you stapled your papers together could be called “gay” -- I literally heard that in high school, and I still remember it as being one of the dumbest things I had ever heard. And, of course, most doomingly for certain individuals -- many were labeled as “gay,” too. 
As I rejected much of the biases and racism that my Indian family operated by when I was growing up -- so I also rejected the nonsensical usage of the word “gay” as an adjective for anything else but someone’s sexuality.
I was a seriously protected, hugely nerdy Indian kid growing up. But I kind of inherently knew that this unconscious/conscious/implicit/explicit/simmering hate for a group of people vis à vis this adjective wasn’t for me. At that time of my youth, I didn’t actually know queer communities. I just didn’t want to be associated with biased people who insisted on seeming like utter idiots via their language against a minority group. 
(I’m aware now that “gay” as an adjective is likely being appropriated back by young queer communities, just like the word “queer” itself. I want to clarify that “gay” was NOT being used in a "nice” sense when I was a kid.)
I’m meditating on this because, of course, I watched Love Sick well out of order of my introduction to Thai BLs. I started with KinnPorsche, with The Eclipse, with Bad Buddy, and then began to correct that by watching SOTUS -- all shows that have dealt with homophobia in various ways...or seemingly not at all, in the case of BBS, and to just a touch of an extent in KP between Big and Porsche. 
So. I watched Love Sick to learn about Thai BL history. But my mindset is out of order, right? It’s because I’ve already watched many influential shows that carry the influence of Love Sick within them. (As I did in my SOTUS review, I’ll cite @miscellar‘s tremendous analysis of how Bad Buddy was based on Aof Noppharnach’s meta commentary on existing BL frameworks, and I’ll do a lot of comparisons to BBS in this piece, as I’m aware that P’Aof was influenced himself by Love Sick.)
In rewinding my perspective and my mind to set myself up to watch Love Sick: I wanted to be very aware of how this show would deal with casual homophobia among teenagers, and the ever-present question of how it would deal with the question of if the main coupling of Phun and Noh would fall into the “gay for you” category that I discussed in my SOTUS review, and that @absolutebl discusses in this post. 
If @absolutebl flagged Love Sick as likely problematic of mistakes that are being corrected for now -- of course, they’re right. The casual homophobia was rampant. The “gay” question was easily squelched, loudly and early by Noh, who clarified throughout the show that he was not, and never would, be gay. And Phun clarifies that as well, later in season 2. Our boys “called it love.”
Bad Buddy dealt with this differently, very obviously. There was no homophobia. Pat likes all genders. Pran will consider liking girls at some point, to Ink’s joy and advice that it’d be “gainful” for Pran to do so. 
But. (And I think P’Aof recognized this.) In history, we have to start somewhere. I had to get comfortable in my jibblies to watch this, and be reminded from whence I came, an environment of casual homophobia that very directly led to my deciding to live my life in part as an ally.
It’s unfortunate that I don’t get to read commentary on the regular about these shows from a Thai queer male perspective. (It’s why reviews from the very dear @bengiyo are so important for me to read, from his queer male perspective.) (And I think I need to watch more Soonvijarn.) I want to know, from a Thai queer male perspective, if it was OKAY for Love Sick to depict the casual homophobia that we saw, and if the perspective accepts Noh and Phun’s trajectory as a couple, calling their relationship not gay, but love. And certainly -- maybe that perspective has changed over the course of the airing of BL in Thailand, as expectations and artistic strategies have changed with the progress of time.
Throughout my liveblogging of my watching the show (and I want to take a second here to give a HUGE SHOUT-OUT to the DARLING MUTUALS who commented on my seriously late-night posts: @clairificusrex, @lurkingshan, @nieves-de-sugui, @aliceisathome, and many more, I LOVE YOU ALL, YOU AMAZING STANS!), I expressed a lot of love for Phun and Noh, and for other characters, too, like Yu, Per, and Win. (Yu and Per have a special place in my heart as allies-in-the-making, and Per trying everything to make Win, his BFF, happy -- and recognizing his limits while doing so.)
But now that I’m done with the show...I feel like a line of intimacy wasn’t crossed. Maybe I shouldn’t blame the show for this. The show WASN’T a BL. The show wasn’t SOLELY focused on Phun and Noh. Maybe the line of intimacy that I’m thinking of COULDN’T be achieved in a high school setting in 2014 Thailand.
I really wondered about the length of the show as I was watching it. For the MAJORITY of the second season, I thought the length HELPED the boys grow into their relationship. We really saw shades of gray. We saw shades of emotion, of development, especially from Noh to Phun. We saw Noh grow TREMENDOUSLY, maturely, figuring out his boundaries with lovely Yu. We saw Noh figure out his boundaries with Phun. I thought all of that development was truly lovely, very important to see between two young men, and gorgeous to watch. Captain acted the hell out of it.
At the same time, I think the length of the second second ultimately hurt the endgoal of the revelation of their relationship to their communities and family. To the end of the show, we were hearing that the boys were not gay. I think this was designed as a necessary part of their coming out in their relationship -- because I’m not sure that the airing of Love Sick 2 could have been considered successful at that time if it did NOT include that element, the element of MAKING SURE that the audience was TOLD that the boys were not gay. 
And I think -- because I watched things out of order, I’ve watched brilliant shows already correct for these mistakes -- that deflated me just a touch as I wrapped up the series.
As well, up until the VERY end, we saw that the boys were still in a place to consider heterosexual relationships, as in the case of Phun and his friend, Pam, who Noh confused for being a potential interloper. With Phun *not* communicating and clarifying to Noh immediately that Pam had a boyfriend, it set up a moment of real confusion for Noh, as if their already-committed relationship (which they had committed to multiple times already!) was on the rocks, for an interloper of another gender.
While I was watching it, I was confused -- I was wondering why the show needed THIS to close out Phun and Noh’s storyline. 
I wonder if it’s because, in 2014, the show could not have ended WITHOUT that question. The boys would be in a relationship now... but in the future, would things “straighten” out? (Of course, years later, we had ReminderS, which I haven’t peeped, but did establish that the guys were still together, as BL continued to be filmed and as attitudes slowly have changed.)
I think that if Love Sick 2 had ended after the pharmacy camp -- I would have felt settled and happy about this show. Phun and Noh ARE darlings, after all. Captain as Noh, his AMAZING ability to demonstrate a teenage kid’s overwhelmed reaction to the world around him so comedically -- it was really perfect. Both White and Captain are fantastic actors (especially as compared to Krist in SOTUS). 
But there was something about the ending that gave me the jibbles. As if the show couldn’t just leave the guys alone in their happiness. There HAD to be one more dramatic storyline that wasn’t clear. There HAD to be the clarification that the boys were not gay -- not to their schoolmates, not to Phun’s dad, not to the audience. No way were they gay. Again, I think this was where the length of the second season ultimately hurt this series.
And Ohm’s internalized homophobia as well. The way in which he rejected James, left James in the dust. The way in which things were left not quite clarified between him and Mick, although their relationship was alluded to at the end. (I might have missed some clarifications in the BL edits, but I ain’t going back to the full-length episodes to find out.)
And Earn and Pete. Good LORD, Earn. An “I fucking love you” next to the urinals? Dude. PETE COULD DO SO MUCH BETTER THAN YOU, EARN. (I frankly wanted to see Pete with Yu. Earn was the Thai version of The Situation from Jersey Shore, getting all up in Noh and Phun’s business and trying to break them up. Fucking Earn. SMDH.)
I have complaints. And I can’t help but think... yes, THIS is what Bad Buddy corrected for. THIS is what The Eclipse corrected for. With Kinn being out and out gay, THIS is what KinnPorsche corrected for. 
Phun and Noh found their love, which I am desperately happy for. Captain acted the HELL out of Noh -- I could not help but laugh out loud, night after night, at how Noh wiggled his way in and out of situations. He is, in Asian parental parlance, a good boy.
But, as dear @absolutebl meditated on, there were mistakes in this show that, thank goodness, are being corrected by the filmmakers that I have fallen for now. I see what Bad Buddy was doing. Instead of “I’M NOT GAY” -- P’Aof had Pran be gay, and Pat be bi, and Pran consider girls to Ink. That flow of that conversation among Pat/Pran/Ink/Pa -- that was sophisticated stuff. P’Golf had Akk say to his parents, not that he was in love with Ayan -- but that he likes men. 
I have previously loved these nuances in Bad Buddy and The Eclipse. Love Sick now makes me WANT THEM, HUNGRILY, as admissions of truth and acceptance. 
Do I need characters to be out and out, like Kinn? NO. That’s a person’s business, that’s a character’s business, if they want to define or call themselves gay. I’m not here to tell anyone where to land on the sexuality expression spectrum, that’s not my place. I’m not here to ASK anyone’s preferences. Just live. Pran certainly wasn’t out and out. He loved Pat -- that’s who he loved, he loved Pat, and there was no other nonsense, no other side explanations, no covering up or jibbly clarifying of any other positions. (And Pat’s statement was so simple, too: “I like both genders.” Boom, done, move on, live and LOVE and be happy.)
What was hard for me was the repeated denial of gay throughout Love Sick and Love Sick 2. I just didn’t think the show needed that -- because the love between Phun and Noh could have spoken volumes WITHOUT those statements. But I also get it. I get that the writers of Love Sick likely thought they NEEDED those statements in order to get the dang show aired in the first place, in 2014 Thailand. I get that there wasn’t that paradigm, yet, as leveraged by people like P’Aof, P’Jojo, and P’Golf, that lets love STAND as the STATEMENT ITSELF, à la Bad Buddy and The Eclipse.
I see what Love Sick did to begin setting up a tremendous, TREMENDOUS paradigm of BLs in Thailand. It was simply groundbreaking. And the ads! The advertisers were also making their statements. These boys were drinking and eating the Oishi like there was no tomorrow. That was big for nascent BL and capitalism accepting nascent BL.
But the show wasn’t perfect, not by a long shot. And @absolutebl Sensei -- you nailed it by listing it as one of your three original recommendations for us understanding what GMMTV is doing, NOW, with their progressive and groundbreaking art. I’m glad I watched Love Sick. I’ll get more Phun and Noh when I catch up with ReminderS -- and I’m glad, for me, that Love Sick is over, and that I know that Phun and Noh end up happily together in drama land, hopefully in a place where their cinematic preferences are NOT in control of the fictional communities around them, and the real audiences watching them.
[For those of you who are following, I’m now going to make a purposeful dive into a few shows that cover a number of priorities. I’m going to watch Make It Right, Make It Right 2, and Love By Chance -- all to learn about the works of the very prolific New Siwaj, as recommended to me by @bengiyo. I’ll also be crossing off groundbreaking shows featuring my simpy darlings, Ohm Pawat and Perth Tanapon, who are currently destroying in Double Savage. Finally, with MIR and MIR2, I’ll learning more about the early high school pulps after having watched Love Sick. Here’s the road front and back. I’ll ALWAYS take input if anyone reading thinks that something’s missing on this list! 
AND AS ALWAYS: MANY, MANY THANKS TO THE FAM that always comments on these posts and gives me unbelievable feedback: @bengiyo, @shortpplfedup, @respectthepetty, @lurkingshan, @wen-kexing-apologist, @clairificusrex, @nieves-de-sugui, @manogirl, @miscellar, @dribs-and-drabbles, @solitaryandwandering, and anyone that I may have missed! I so appreciate you all, and I LIVE for the conversations we have about these shows. 1) Love Sick and Love Sick 2 (2014 and 2015) 2) SOTUS (2016) (review here) 3) Make It Right (2016) 4) Make It Right 2 (2017) 5) Love By Chance (2018) 6) Kiss Me Again: PeteKao cuts (2018) 7) He’s Coming To Me (2019) 8) Dark Blue Kiss (2019) 9) TharnType (2019) 10) Theory of Love (2019) 11) Until We Meet Again (2019-2020) 12) 2gether (2020) 13) Still 2gether (2020) 14) ITSAY (2020) 15) I Promised You the Moon (2021) 16) Not Me (2021-2022) 17) My School President (2022-2023)]

The way Noh rested his face on Phun's shoulder in Reminders gave me a very nostalgic vibe. It's like even after all these years, even after the shocking glow-up, Noh will forever be the baby that Phun adores. Some things never change. And I think that's beautiful. ✨

Day One- first show you ever watched.
The first BL I ever watched was Love Sick!! It had already been out a couple years when I found it but that was the one my YouTube started throwing my way so I did some research and decided to give it a shot. I fucking loved it and it’s honestly the reason I love White so much. Lol
It’s also unique in the way that sometimes you could tell the actors were young and inexperienced with acting but most of the time it just came off as them being awkward teens and fit in with the show. Lol

just finished love sick the series
i watched both seasons one and two, along with reminders, in the span of like 5 days. i honestly don’t know what i’m feeling right now, except a sense of grief. i feel like i watched these kids grow up and learn so much. i’m so incredibly emotionally connected to each and every character, i’m so sad i won’t be able to see them again. i’ll never know how noh and phun face the battles of adult life together, if mick and ohm stay together after ohm graduates, if pete and earn actually get together. it almost feels like a death, where i’m left empty and only wanting more time with these boys and girls i’ve grown to love so much. i’m really considering reading the book, just to see if it gives me a little more closure. 
i think this has been the most attached i’ve felt towards any characters, and i believe it’s because we see them interact outside of their romantic relationship so much. noh and ohm’s friendship is funny yet authentic, and when i watched the music club interact, it genuinely looked like a group of teenagers having fun with their friends, not a group of actors playing characters. the roughhousing, the boyish glee and stupidity made the characters seem real, like i was seeing a real group of friends. i wouldn’t be surprised if the director just let them loose on set and said “have fun.”
love sick may have its issues, but it’s become one of my favorite bls, and i know it’s carved a special place n my heart.

Can I ask you to do one more for Phun and Noh please?! #31 “you haven’t lost me” if/ when you can get to it. I would love a bit more of them! 💕
alf;jalfj yes. ok. i love them so much. i love this. thank you so much for the prompt! have some playful, slightly angsty phunnoh. [ Prompt Post ]
31.  “You haven’t lost me.”
WC: 901
Phun looked at his phone. Noh was late. They were supposed to be having dinner with Phun’s family - but after their last conversation, Phun wasn’t even sure that Noh was going to show up. They hadn’t broken up, not really. Noh had asked for some space and Phun was not one to ever deny Noh of anything. Things had been difficult, and Phun understood. Noh had wanted space to figure out what he wanted. Noh had insisted that he still loved Phun, but Phun knew that wasn’t always enough to make a relationship last.
He had hoped that after everything they’d been through that maybe it was enough, that he was enough. The longer he stood there, the more unsure he was. Maybe he’d put too much faith in the thought that they could make it through anything. He knew that Noh had doubts, but he’d thought he’d helped him through those. He guessed that Noh not reaching out and not showing up answered the question on whether or not Noh had decided what he wanted. Phun couldn’t keep his family waiting forever, but he waited a couple of minutes more before he went inside to join them. He smiled and apologized, coming up with an excuse on the spot as to why Noh didn’t show up.
Dinner was fine. Phun didn’t want to be there, though, and after he finished helping clean up afterward, he made an excuse to leave. It wasn’t really an excuse. He did have work to do. It just wasn’t due for a while. He had made sure to spread out his assignments so that he didn’t spend all his time trying to catch up and pull time away from Noh. He’d gotten better at balancing his busy school life and their relationship. Or he thought he had. Maybe he was wrong since Noh still felt like he did. He tried to understand Noh’s fears and doubts, but sometimes he just… couldn’t. He tried his best to get rid of them. Phun guessed it wasn’t enough anymore.
Phun took his time getting home and when he got to the building the apartment was in, he found Noh waiting outside. He was pacing back and forth, wringing his hands. When he saw Phun, he stopped pacing and pulled him into a hug. “Why didn’t you answer your phone?” Noh asked him, hugging him tightly.
“Huh?” Phun’s brow furrowed as he slowly wrapped his arms around Noh’s waist. He wasn’t fully sure that he wasn’t imagining Noh being there. 
“I’m sorry I was late. Traffic was horrible, then the bus I was on broke down, and my phone was dead, and it took forever for an alternative bus to arrive. When I got to your parents’ you had already left. I tried calling you from there but you didn’t answer, so I came here.” He’d been worried when he got there and Phun wasn’t home, but he knew how sometimes when Phun wanted time to think he would just drive around. Noh had hoped that was the only reason Phun wasn’t there and hadn’t answered the phone. “Please don’t be mad.”
“I’m not - I’m not mad.” Phun still seemed a little confused as he pulled away from Noh enough to look at him. “I just… I thought you decided you didn’t want this anymore, that I had lost you. So, I went to clear my head. I guess my phone died.” He didn’t want to let go of Noh to check but he knew it hadn’t rang at all after he’d left his parents’. 
Noh shook his head a couple of times. He felt bad that he’d made Phun feel that way, it hadn’t been on purpose. “You haven’t lost me.” He would have been at the dinner if everything hadn’t gone wrong. He had wanted some space to think about everything, to get himself sorted and figure out if maybe his priorities had changed. They hadn’t. Even if things weren’t always easy, he still wanted to be with Phun. “I’m sorry for making you worry, and I’m sorry about… Well, all of it.” He was sorry that he doubted Phun, and their relationship. He was sorry that he hadn’t been able to get to the dinner. He was sorry that things weren’t easy and simple like they’d been before. “I don’t need space anymore.”
“You don’t?”
Noh shook his head again. “No. I know what I want. I’d always known, I just… I don’t know. It felt like too much and I just… I don’t know. I’m sorry. But I’m here. I’m in this thing with you. If you still want me to be.”
“Of course I do.” There was no hesitation or doubt in Phun’s voice. There wasn’t anyone else he could want. Nobody else ever caught his attention. Noh was his best friend, and Phun intended on being with him for the rest of his life. He was just glad that Noh seemed to finally be on the same page. “I’ve been in love with you since we were in high school. That’s not going to change just because you needed a moment.”
“Yeah, well…” Noh let out a heavy breath, looking anywhere but a Phun as he tried not to smile. “I sort of, maybe, love you, too.”
“Sort of maybe?” Phun laughed softly but nodded with an amused smile, anyway. “I’ll take it.”
